Given that there is a single HTML View in our app, we will need to attach data to that page so that the template that is being rendered can be included in such a way that the dynamic areas of the page are replaced with the real content. To do this, we will need to generate a View model. During the rendering, the template engine will parse the template itself and look for a special syntax that indicates that specific sections should be replaced with values from the View model itself at runtime. We saw examples of this when we explored the Handlebars template framework in the preceding chapter. Think of this as a fancy runtime find and replace of your HTML templates--finding variables and replacing them with values stored in the View model sent to the template.

Overview of this book
Node.js builds fast, scalable network applications while MongoDB is the perfect fit as a high-performance, open source NoSQL database solution. The combination of these two technologies offers high performance and scalability and helps in building fast, scalable network applications. Together they provide the power for manage any form of data as well as speed of delivery.
This book will help you to get these two technologies working together to build web applications quickly and easily, with effortless deployment to the cloud. You will also learn about angular 4, which consumes pure JSON APOIs from a hapi server.
The book begins by setting up your development environment, running you through the steps necessary to get the main application server up-and-running. Then you will see how to use Node.js to connect to a MongoDB database and perform data manipulations.
From here on, the book will take you through integration with third-party tools to interact with web apps. You will see how to use controllers and view models to generate reusable code that will reduce development time. Toward the end, the book supplies tests to properly execute your code and take your skills to the next level with the most popular frameworks for developing web applications.
By the end of the book, you will have a running web application developed with MongoDB, Node.js, and some of the most powerful and popular frameworks.
